Dairy

[Md.Mizanor Rahman]

Dairy cows eat a balanced diet of:

Green fodder (grass, napier, maize, legumes)

Dry roughage (hay, straw)

Concentrates (maize, wheat bran, oil cakes, soybean meal)

Mineral mixture (for calcium, phosphorus, etc.)

Clean water (very important for milk production)

This balanced feeding helps increase milk yield and maintain good healty

[Md.Rejuan Hossain]

Dairy cows eat a balanced, nutrient-dense diet consisting primarily of forage (pasture, hay, silage), grains (corn, barley), and protein sources (soybean meal, cottonseed), typically served as a Total Mixed Ration (TMR). They often consume leftovers from human food processing, such as citrus pulp, almond hulls, and bakery waste.
